Rand was a male mouse and a yellow-cloaked Guardmouse. After receiving a serious wound to his his left knee during the Winter War of 1149, his career as a patrol mouse was unfortunately cut short. This wound kept him at Lockhaven to act as Captain of Lockhaven's defences while monitoring the comings-and-goings of his fellow Guardmice.[1]

Rand relied on defence as his tactic for staying alive in the wild country. He would exhaust a predator by avoiding its attacks and then give it a fatal slice from the tip of his shield.

Rand grew up in Shorestone. His father was a member of the Haven Guild. In his youth, he was hesitant to join a specific trade, although after a discussion with his father, who told him The Tale of the Axe Trio, he decided he felt best suited to joining the guard.

Interestingly enough, the name Rand in its unabbreviated form - Randall or Randolph - stems from the Old Norse word Randólfr, which literally translates to Shield (Rand's weapon of choice) and Wolf (the Mouse Territories' ultimate predator.

Saxon, Kenzie, and Rand were patrol mice together for many seasons. Rand's shield saved the lives of both mice more than once.
